The four-parameter weight of partitions played an important role in the theory of integer partitions, for its connection with various statistics, including the alternating sum and the BG-rank. In 2022, Andrews introduced the SIP classes, by…
We present alternative, q-hypergeometric proofs of some polynomial analogues of classical q-series identities recently discovered by Alladi and Berkovich, and Berkovich and Garvan.
Let G be a symplectic or orthogonal complex Lie group with Lie algebra g. As a G-module, the decomposition of the symmetric algebra S(g) into its irreducible components can be explicitely obtained by using identities due to Littlewood. We…
Recently there has been quite a bit of study carried out related to arithmetic properties of overpartitions into non-multiples of two co-prime integers. The paper [19] by Nadji et al. looked into congruences modulo $3$ and powers of $2$ for…
We make progress towards understanding the structure of Littlewood-Richardson coefficients $g_{\lambda,\mu}^{\nu}$ for products of Jack symmetric functions. Building on recent results of the second author, we are able to prove new cases of…
In this paper, we give a conjecture, which generalises Euler's partition theorem involving odd parts and different parts for all moduli. We prove this conjecture for two family partitions. We give $q$-difference equations for the related…
In 2019, Andrews investigated integer partitions in which all parts of a given parity are smaller than those of the opposite parity and introduced eight partition functions based on the parity of the smaller parts and parts of a given…
Recently, Pankaj Jyoti Mahanta and Manjil P. Saikika proved some identities relating certain restricted partitions into distinct odd parts with the partition whose odd parts are distinct combinatorially. They asked for the q-series proofs.…
Introduced by Goulden and Jackson in their 1996 paper, the matchings-Jack conjecture and the hypermap-Jack conjecture (also known as the $b$-conjecture) are two major open questions relating Jack symmetric functions, the representation…
Some conjectures on partition hook lengths, recently stated by the author, have been proved and generalized by Stanley, who also needed a formula by Andrews, Goulden and Jackson on symmetric functions to complete his derivation. Another…
We prove three main conjectures of Berkovich and Uncu (Ann. Comb. 23 (2019) 263--284) on the inequalities between the numbers of partitions of $n$ with bounded gap between largest and smallest parts for sufficiently large $n$. Actually our…
The main result of this paper is a bijective proof showing that the generating function for partitions with bounded differences between largest and smallest part is a rational function. This result is similar to the closely related case of…
George Andrews and Peter Paule have recently conjectured an infinite family of congruences modulo powers of 3 for the 2-elongated plane partition function $d_2(n)$. This congruence family appears difficult to prove by classical methods. We…
We prove a family of partition identities which is "dual" to the family of Andrews-Gordon's identities. These identities are inspired by a correspondence between a special type of partitions and "hypergraphs" and their proof uses…
Let $p_2(n)$ denote the number of cubic partitions. In this paper, we shall present two new congruences modulo $11$ for $p_2(n)$. We also provide an elementary alternative proof of a congruence established by Chan. Furthermore, we will…
In a recent work, Andrews gave analytic proofs of two conjectures concerning some variations of two combinatorial identities between partitions of a positive integer into odd parts and partitions into distinct parts discovered by Beck.…
A method of Proctor [European J. Combin. 5 (1984), no. 4, 331-350] realizes the set of arbitrary plane partitions in a box and the set of symmetric plane partitions as bases of linear representations of Lie groups. We extend this method by…
Recently, Andrews and El Bachraoui (2024) proved three very interesting $q$-series identities, from which three simple looking identities involving certain restricted partitions into distinct even parts and $4$-regular partitions follow. In…
We extend partition-theoretic work of Andrews, Bressoud, and Burge to overpartitions, defining the notions of successive ranks, generalized Durfee squares, and generalized lattice paths, and then relating these to overpartitions defined by…
An almost self-conjugate (ASC) partition has a Young diagram in which each arm along the diagonal is exactly one box longer than its corresponding leg. Classically, the ASC partitions and their conjugates appear in two of Littlewood's…
